Spring Makeup Trends

When you think of spring, you think of pastels, soft pinks and purples. Well the season’s traditional looks have changed.

Spring 2014, you should expect daring, bold and sexy colors like orange and a natural, yet sexy nude on the lips.

This Spring makeup looks are about making a statement with ‘Just a Touch of Color’ on the lips and cheeks, while the eyes are alluring and natural with a hint of sparkle.

Wearing the latest makeup trend is every beauty guru’s precedence. However what lies underneath also is extremely important.

Tips for Spring Skin Care

Here are a three trouble-free skincare tips to ensure your Spring glam is flower-filled:

Exfoliate – If you haven’t scrubbed that lifeless skin off your face all winter, it’s certainly time to begin. If your skin is normal to combination, you should exfoliate two to three times a week. On the other hand, if your skin is more on the dry end, one to two times a week is ideal.

Lighten UP! – The rich hydrating moisturizing cream that you used in the winter may be a little too heavy for spring. Switch over to a lighter, oil-free lotion as a replacement. You can never go wrong with a serum.

Protect Your Skin – Unprotected sun exposure is awfully treacherous. The sun doesn’t discriminate. It does not matter your age, gender, nor race: the rays will ATTACK! In order to prevent sunburn, premature aging, wrinkling, and skin cancer, apply a SPF to your face every morning.

To begin transforming your look for the spring, check out an amazing collection of Vera Moore Cosmetics colors. For a peek at the collection, visit www.veramoorecosmetics.com.
